Mix and match tires...

[MikenOH]

If you're thinking about Hankook consider these Sumitomo's:

Sumitomo****HTR Z III

comparison of the two tires:
Tire Test Results : Testing Value-Priced Max Performance Summer Tires

Pricing between the two tires is very close in 986 sizes. If I was going to go with the most cost effective max performance tire, I think I'd choose this one.

Being retired I don't put many miles on the vehicle and currently has 40k miles. Nothing has gone wrong at all but I feel that the tires should be replaced as I don't like tires with little tread left. The above poster is so right in that being overconfident in your car can lead to an accident/incident due to equipment failure or driver error.
Usually I go with the tried and true and buy Michelin but the Hancook V12 are intriguing. Once again great input everybody!
